The South Asian Studies Programme (SASP), which began in July 1999, has by now developed into a dynamic, multidisciplinary centre which promotes and co-ordinates teaching, research and related activities, focusing upon the South Asian region (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka). Our approach reflects the different perspectives and methods of a variety of academic disciplines related to historical as well as modern aspects.

International Academic Relations

SASP has by now established excellent international relations on the academic level and regularly receives visits of world class researchers from renowned institutions. We have established an interesting series of seminars which again reflects clearly our multidisciplinary character and provides a forum for visitors to SASP to exchange views with the NUS community. SASP members regularly take part in international conferences and also collaborate in international research projects. Although a still young programme, SASP is by now well integrated into the worldwide academic network.
